Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rompecabezas by Aterciopelados from Spanish to English.
Y es que fueron
And it's that they were
Fueron tus abrazos
They were your hugs
Que como sablazos me hicieron pedazos
that like sword slashes tore me to pieces
Fueron tus miradas
were your looks
Quede destrozada y en llanto inundada
I was left destroyed and flooded in tears
La flama de tu boca
The flame of your mouth
Me quemó, y apagarme me toca
burned me, and it's my turn to put myself out
Que tendré que armar
that I'll have to put together
Lejos de su influjo
Far from your influence
De esa cruel fragancia
From that cruel fragrance
Que invadió mi ser
that invaded my being
De la maleza
From the weeds
Surgieron tus promesas
Your promises emerged
Germinando tristeza en mi cabeza
Germinating sadness in my head
Me tomo por sorpresa
took me by surprise
Para lastimar, tienes mucha destreza
To hurt, you have a lot of skill
Fueron tus caricias
were your caresses
Mala noticia, eran pura malicia
Bad news, they were pure malice
Que tendré que armar
that I'll have to put together
Lejos de su influjo
Far from your influence
De esa extravagancia
From that extravagance
Que torció mi fe
that twisted my faith
Ya no quiero ir hacia usted corriendo
I don't want to go running toward you anymore
Ya no quiero más gritar su nombre
I don't want to shout your name anymore
Lejos de su influjo
Far from your influence
De la casi muerte
From the near death
Que fue su querer
that was your love
